Young Stuff By Fred Young Interesting to see the results as the Pi Kaps turned lucky logger last Tuesday and clipped their one shade tree. Maybe now a little bet ter view of the “tennis court” across the street? Excitement next to the tennis court as the Chi Omega’s washing machine wiring caught fire with resultant fire-trucks and ambu lances drawing the curious and cold. Only loss was the SAE who ran up to the third floor to help. The Alpha Chi’s now report 50 per cent pins. Half-safe. Contrib uting to the percentage is Dorothy .Wonderly with Art Milne’s Beta pin. Also, and they said it sur prised, there is Sally Schilling with Jerry Switzer’s Phi Delt badge. However, Pat Foley’s Sigma Nu pin won’t surprise. And Barbara Nasberg knitting for suave ex china chipper Keith Larson. •Not to forget the lucky ones who Are announcing engagements. Alpha ki Ruth Clark to Bill Con ley of Eugene.

Annie Robineau (above), daugh ter of a French veteran, will be flown from Paris with Flanders poppies for the American Le gion’s poppy campaign. It’s Raining... It s Pouring!!! It’s raining-. It’s pouring. One day it’s sunny and bright; the next it’s rainy and stormy; but both days are warm and sticky. You want a raincoat that will keep you dry as well as cool, and is smart-looking too. Such a raincoat is the new red denim number with contrasting stitching and a double row of buttons. The sturdy material has the same feel ing as your favorite pair of dunga rees and is just as durable. Then there is the coolie raincoat that doubles as an over-everything coat when it’s sunny. Made of red corduroy, it has raglan sleeves and a mandarin collar. With it you can wear the matching coolie rain hat, something very new in rainwear. Another rather different twist tc. the familiar raincoat is the cot ton twill raincoat in plaid that adds a touch of gaiety to a rainy day. Hooded and double-breasted, it has a detachable belt which can be worn three different ways. The pockets on each side are useful as well as decorative.

Writer Discusses Women s Sports By Tom King Noted Women’s Sports Authority Scot kilts have developed into pants—and the women wore ’em. Ten gallon hats became the craze of tough-skinned, leathery faced men with twelve-shooters on each hip—and women bought ’em. Why even back in the age of neolithic man women did all the menial tasks while their then bet ter halves stayed home and dis cussed the day’s political report that came to them via pre-historic radio made out of African hemp —but the gals soon switched this. It comes as no surprise, then that the fair sex, ornery cusses that they are, have moved into an other field, the athletic. And there, ladies, you have the eighth wonder of the world—and certainly more of a wonder than wonderful. From a technical standpoint, the feminine sex do irreparably great damage to the sacred shrine that is sports. Quite often, though, they take out the damage on each other. This squares accounts, so we men have no kick here. Wrestling is a particularly in teresting form of skullduggery, but when the femmies take a whack at it—and each other—then Women’s Page A Womans Place in News Outlined by Matrix Speaker JJon t try to be the back slapping, “one of the fellows” type ot woman journalist, but don't go to the other extreme and be "cute," Dorothy Carcw, former Associated Press financial w rit er, told guests of Theta Sigma Phi's annual Matrix Tabic Thurs day night. Miss Carcw emphasized accuracy as one of the keys to suc cess for women in journalism.

When our day of reckoning comes, you can make us walk a plank or have us eaten piecemeal by every form of mammal and fish that might be attracted by the feast, but don’t toss us into the ring with Matilda McAmazoji. Matilda’s bi ceps are well developed, the which cannot be said for her other as pects. And herein is our pet peeve. This Matilda McAmazon, of whom we speak, was, we remember, quite a doll as one stage of her develop ment. Then one fatal afternoon milady got a bit perturbed at us. In pre vious incidents of a similar nature it was simply a matter of doing a dodging act amidst a battery of rolling pins. However, unfortunate as it was, this time there was no rolling pin basis as men in the newspaper Held, she said, and must he able to turn out “a mail's product.” Speaking from personal ex perience, Miss Carew gave sev eral tips on successfully work ing side by side with men. Her advice was not to ask numerous questions, but to figure problems out for oneself. “Avoid cute copy, at least until you become experi enced,’ she said. “Also, don’t over dress around the office.’’ Tapped as new members of The ta Sigma Phi, women’s national professional journalism fraternity, were Anita Holmes, Ann Goodman, and Marge Scandling, sophomores, and Barbara Jeremiah, junior. Honored at the dinner as the two outstanding University freshmen women in pre-journalism were Gretchen Grondahl and Lorna Law son. Anita Holmes was named as the outstsanding sophomore wo man. This was a repeat perform ance for Miss Holmes, who was the outstanding freshman woman last year. Three Eugene high school jour nalists were also honored by the Theta Sigs. From Eugene high school came Mary Ellen Burrell, daughter of O. K. Burrell, Univer sity professor of business adminis tration. Kitty Lou Shaw and Kath ryn Ann Heidenreich, of Univer sity and St. Marys’ high schools, respectively, wcre^also honored. with which Matilda might conk us. So, being a. rather resourceful gai, she started in on us in such fashion as might stir the envy of Strangler Lewis. And Matilda, overjoyed at tho prospect of using her finger nails for some purpose other than to manicure, never gave up her new ly found form of recreation. So you'll see her around the Pa cific slopes these days barnstorm ing from town to town, challeng ing any cow-poke gal to a best two out of three falls.
